Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

OMG!!Arcee looks sooo gosh darn sexy (in a metallic robot kind of way, ahem )!!Roll out the pink repaint/store exclusive with a possible remold/head swap to the one we all know and luurve, Transformers the Movie!! You can keep your overpriced, poor quality 3rd party Arcee's in favour of this sweet mold anyday!Till all are one!

Those arm blades are going to be removable/replaceable with some well placed rare earth magnets once I get my hands on her. Same technique will probably go into her shoulder "wings". I'm stoked about this line. I'm thinking I'm going to return some of the DOTM randoms I picked up even though I was second guessing them. Can't wait to take pics of my own tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure those are just attached by pegs, so removing them won't be too hard.

Quite pleased at how good these figures look without all of Hasbro's Photoshoppery (it's a word!) As others have said it's rare that we get a Transformers motorbike that looks so good in both modes, so I find it amazing that I think Arcee may be the best of the three. I greatly enjoyed Transformers: Prime's debut mini-series, even if the main show is somewhat mediocre.

Whether or not I go for this line will depend heavily on what its top tier Optimus Prime and Megatron will be like. And also which other Transformers products are around at the time as price will be a issue, especially considering TFC Project Deva.

If it's the two pack with OP and the human figs, it's deluxe class, set for release in July.

According to TFwiki, the TF Prime line will be be released in December 2011. If I recall correctly, there's a Voyager OP in the works, and almost definitely a voyager Megatron as well. Deluxe Soundwave is confirmed, and he is said to come with the bat drone that fits in his chest, and it doubles as a blade-weapon.

A voyager would be nice, but I really want a leader. I hope Hasbro doesn't decide to skip out on leaders for this line, as there is a lot of potential for some great figures. I'll have to get Soundwave as well. I like his look in the show, but I do wish he would actually talk, especially since Frank Welker is on the cast.

Leader class figs seems unlikely since it's not a main line. All their Leader shelf space will be going to DOTM stuff, I reckon.

Maybe if the show and these toys do well they'll branch out more.

assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide. Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

I'm with you on that. Sadly, Orci and Kurtzman have some kind of fixation with "radio-talk." According to TF-wiki, they were planning on letting Bee speak normally in ROTF, but they were so in love with the idea of him talking through the radio that they just decided to make him remain a mute in ROTF.
